Tenerife offers one of the most dramatic coastlines in Europe because the island was shaped by volcanic activity over millions of years. During the safari, guests can often enjoy spectacular views that combine the Atlantic Ocean with towering volcanic landscapes dominated by Mount Teide. * Massive volcanic cliffs rising directly from the ocean * Black lava rock formations created by ancient eruptions * Clear panoramic views of Mount Teide, Spain’s highest peak Mount Teide stands at 3,715 meters above sea level and dominates Tenerife’s skyline. Because the mountain rises from the Atlantic Ocean floor, its total height is far greater than what visitors see above sea level. On clear days, Teide creates an incredible backdrop for whale and dolphin sightings Cruise along Tenerife’s spectacular volcanic coastline with breathtaking views of Mount Teide a unique landscape where wild ocean life meets one of the world’s most impressive volcanic islands.”

Absolutely worth the 25€! Best whale safari Ive been to and luckily my partner’s first time. We got super lucky and found huge pod of pilot whales with babies! The crew was super good to them and immediatly stopped the boat. Its alsmost like the whales recognised the captain whistling to them as they all came over. We checked out the submarine room and we actually saw so many whales UNDER WATER! It was incredible! The babies were playing while the adults were chilling and nursing. They left after a long while and we continued towards the fish farms and love cave. Saw two sea turtles, a flying fish and a couple of dolphins by the farm. They play on speaker an explanation about dolphins in captivity. Im glad they do, because if they get about 300 visitors a day (100 each trip) to hear this message, the impact would be quite good as many tourists does not know how cruel loro parque and aqualand and many more are. I also went on their previous sailboat 5-6yrs ago and that was also very nice:) Bought a tshirt then and once again now to support. Ill prob get a pilot whale tattoed after this haha. Thank you for an incredible memory
Super cool! The guides were very nice, I would do it again 1000 times!
We had a wonderful time with my partner and my daughter observing the dolphins; they came to see us themselves, the boat did not disturb them, it was magical to see them so close; we did not expect so much from the excursion 🙏🏻
Please remember to listen to the comments on the way back! Very informative. The crew was very respectful and knowledgeable.
Very nice experience, respecting marine animal life.
Wow, what an incredible trip!! We were going on a boat trip elsewhere but taxi driver took us to the wrong port so we missed it, I did inform them so they weren't waiting! We decided to book this to cheer us up and well, all I can say is, things happen for a reason! This trip was incredible, we saw pilot whales and dolphins 🥹😍 The whole crew were fantastic and informative. Also we got a wine each and chocolate snack onboard and it was just €9! Would recommend to everyone and anyone!
We saw whales, dolphins, and even a turtle. In general, the experience was pleasant, but be sure to take chewing gum, because of seasickness
Great trip on a good sized boat (not too big and not too small) with plenty of space to move around. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Went for this as it was roughly 2 hours long and thought better for the children, but in hindsight maybe a longer 3-4 hour trip would have been better in order to see more wildlife. We still saw pilot whales, dolphins and sea turtles but felt like we were heading back just when it started to get really interesting. This was still a really good trip for the family though and I would recommend it.
Really great experience, great value. Saw lots of pilot whales very close by and some bottlenose dolphins further away. Son (5) and Daughter (8) were in awe of the animals. The 12.30 sailing was half as busy as the 2.30 one looked as we returned. Loo and drinks (soft, beer and sangria) sold onboard for less than 3 euro each. Take snacks if you have small kids. Can sit in full sun on deck or downstairs in shade with windows open to view. Very friendly staff. Loved that the focus was on understanding the marine life and not hassling it. It's worth noting that it's a smaller boat so made me feel a bit queasy, they have bags available if you were to need them (I didn't but it was nice to know they were close). Would deffo recommend this tour.
Great experience because we saw dolphins. It was a magical moment. However, I was a bit disappointed with the company: I chose this company because they spoke French, and in fact, not even half of it is translated into French. Additionally, we ended up with a very loud and rude school group, which somewhat spoiled the moment. It would have been appreciated if someone had intervened.
